However, not the best for surfing, punta uva is better. The open air kitchen has everything and works great. We had the double bunk room and it was very comfortable but a bit small, overall fine! About 2min bike from grocery which is great, and \~8min from downtown Puerto Viejo. Unfortunatly the hostel restaurant prices (and drinks) are too high for the backpacker crowd, so the only social happens in the kitchen/eating area. I would suggest the hostel bring their prices down and most likely make more on volume. Would have loved too have some beers/food there, but prices were better elsewhere. Overall, it was a great week and we would recommend! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7269752c-197c-482e-91cf-13bd630579e9-1769783047000.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/025961cc-b4e7-496d-9ce4-486f3136e9ed-1769783047089.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7f7b1a99-085c-4269-b32b-499832c4fed9-1769783045987.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b8c93e44-fd66-4a54-9f8c-ec153c21dff4-1769783039392.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Antoine Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jonna 14 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Perfect spot for beach holiday, a bit costy restaurant, good kitchen, toilet and bathroom.

This is one of the Best hostels we’ve had the pleasure of staying at. Options for dining in at the Sage restaurant or several others options within walking distance. Hammocks and cabanas provided throughout the property located right on the beach. Alejandra and staff are so loving and warm, it felt like family. We enjoyed it so much we extended our stay. Alejandra and staff offer a chill vibe and is contagious throughout the hostel and community in Cocles and Puerto Viejo attracting like minded travelers. Alejandra is so loving she even through me a birthday party, including cake and watermelon, inviting all the guests to gather together. I was truly touched. Alejandra’s attitude was not only excellent service but also felt like love. ##### Robert Stayed 14 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Leslie 5 Nov 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff were great! 1st “deluxe” private room with bathroom smelled terrible, so I had to move out. They were very nice about moving me to another smaller room, ok. AC, no fan. You can hear all conversations in the hall and rooms next door. Expensive at $60-70 for a private room! Restaurant and bar expensive too. But most people stayed in dorm rooms for $19 a night, a good deal. Common kitchen and areas to hang out. no amenities, not even shampoo. safe parking worked for 2-3 cars. ![i love these rules!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/11baa41a-7dde-4177-8230-c704b8118011-1762302939975.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![locked area for a few cars](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7cc72f7e-32da-4418-b9ca-821b946a1143-1762302940716.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Leslie Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adriana 2 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Great experience !

Had an absolute blast at Playa 506\. The location straight on the beach is incredible, both for just going out for a swim but also to watch the incredible sunrises in the morning. The women in the reception are also so helpful and kind. There was a party in Bocos, Panama, the weekend I was staying but the vibe was still cool, the Sunday when people were coming back it became straight away even more social which was a nice way to finish off my stay. The only downer for this place is that there’s no free coffee in the morning. The facilities are also alright, I’ve been to hostels with better/cleaner kitchen facilities but it was still alright. Would highly recommend to stay! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/355EC31733011AFA2438F9C39D2F64265C66FE441716238224001.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/DCF719C38BD0775D04D15CD41BEF7267F800EC7C1716238221764.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nicole Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lissett 21 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities In love.
